Also, I have a suggestion -- instead of a K2, would it be possible for the winner to win an up to the cost of a K2 and giving them the option to upgrade to a DX (if they kick in the extra $$ of course).
Why do *I* deserve to win? Well, I probably don't! I certainly don't need another eBook reader.
That is why if I win, I would a Kindle (or if given the option -- pay for an upgrade for a Kindle DX) to sponsor an essay contest at
The Fletcher Academy here in Raleigh, NC.
The Fletcher Academy caters to kids K-12 who have learning differences and allows them to succeed academically where they would probably fall through the cracks in public school.
If I had my way, I would love to replace every Nintendo DS in a kids hands with an ebook reader. If I can only do it for one kid... well, its a start.
I'm in no way affiliated with the Fletcher Academy. However, I have an 8 year old with Aspergers -- a high-functioning form of autism -- and so kids with special needs are near and dear to my heart.
Ok... sorry if I got too sappy and brought the lively mood down...
Cheers!
